Frequently Asked Questions

How do I avoid hip dysplasia in my Finnish Spitz?

Select a breeder who hip dysplasia screens. Maintain your dog at a healthy weight, supplement joints if advised, and don't overdo exercise during puppyhood.

Is the Finnish Spitz a good apartment dog?

Not exactly. They're loud and active, needing lots of exercise and mental stimulation. A house with a yard is best suited to them, but committed apartment dwellers with enough walks and play can accommodate.

Do Finnish Spitz dogs bark a lot?

Yes, barking is a natural behavior. Early training is essential to control excessive barking, particularly in city life.

Can Finnish Spitz live on a raw diet?

Yes, but it must be well-planned and with consultation with a veterinarian to ensure a balanced diet. A raw diet may consist of raw meat, organs, bones, and some fruits/vegetables.
